Since its beginning in 1929 under the name National
Thespians, the Educational Theatre Association has
worked to promote and strengthen school theatre by
recognizing and rewarding excellence. We strive,
alongside educators, advocates, and artists, to make
theatre an instrument of lifelong learning. The
Association also serves as the eyes, ears, and voice of
the school theatre community, advocating a stronger role
for theatre education in the curriculum.
We are the professional association for theatre
education. The International Thespian Society, our
student division, is the world’s largest honor society for
theatre arts students. Together, the Educational Theatre
Association and the International Thespian Society have
been helping build strong school theatre programs for
more than seventy-five years.
